One of my favourite symbolists. And Hitler's favourite painter.

You must be retarded if you think any of those painters existed in inherent opposition to eachother. Doubly so if you think they somehow represented diverging paths Western painting could go down. They were all products of the decline of painting as an art. Had Hitler (or whoever) won it wouldn't have changed a thing.

I think his paintings have a very brutal edge to them you do not find in other symbolists. Moreau, for example, is much more ethereal and delicate. I like it.
